Bicyclists, motorcyclists, runners, walkers are out enjoying the weather and the roads. Let’s keep an eye out for these folks. Also, there are walking trails that are being utilized more. A lot of these trails cross over busy roads. Please be cautious when driving by or walking on these trails that cross roadways. If you are one of the bicyclists, walkers, or runners and you travel after dark please wear reflective clothing or any other colors except black, gray, or dark blue. It is preferable that you wear bright colors. It is important you stay as visible as possible to avoid being hit.
